The Harmful Effects of Toxic Mold

Why You Can Trust Us

Toxic mold can be found inside certain parts of your home, where the atmosphere is just right to reproduce. Toxic mold can be found mostly behind basement walls, on bathroom floor tiles, inside air ducts, and behind staircases. Black mold causes a variety of health problems, including dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, chronic fatigue, chest pain, abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea. Later stage illnesses include blindness, cancer and eventually death.

Toxic mold must be destroyed at first sight to prevent the potential health problems associated with it. If you encounter toxic mold, you must contact a professional right away. The longer time the black mold stays inside your house, the greater the health risks become. If you’ve recently experienced any type of water damage situation in your home, you need to notify a professional on the spot. Water damage creates a perfect breeding ground for toxic mold, and must be dealt with right away.

You can begin the cleanup process by yourself, but you must undertake all safety precautions beforehand. You’ll need a pair of safety goggles, rubber gloves, a dust mask, a damp cloth and some bleach to begin removing the mold. Avoid mixing bleach with ammonia, since they can cause dangerous and toxic fumes in your house. Once you’ve got your safety equipment on, you can begin scrubbing and cleaning the infected areas.

Professional mold remediation technicians use specialized cleaning equipment to safely destroy the toxic mold. They’re also able to conduct toxic black mold testing to test for mold in the air. Mold testing should be done by highly trained experts, since they have the knowledge and experience to deal with black mold. Under no circumstances should you ever allow small children to come in contact with the toxic mold. Seal off the mold infested areas until a professional arrives.
